Default POST Error (Phoenix BIOS)


"merkat106" wrote in message
...

I have updated an HP Media Center computer that I have
replaced
everyhting EXCEPT the mobo and case.

Everything was working fine until the post error began.

The POST error: one short beep followed by one long beep,
looping until
I turn the computer off. I tried replacing the RAM,
pulling out all of
the PCI cards etc.

The computer runs a Phoenix BIOS modified by HP. The mobo
is an Asus
built HP board:M2N68-LA (Narra2). I researched the error a
bit and came
to the conclusion that the motherboard went bad. There
have been no
surges & no visible damage to the board.

I want to know why a mobo does this for no apparent
reason.


Phoenix BIOS beep codes are all in a series of four.
